Hey there! this is how to make "claws" out of paper. Kids love 'em; they like to pretend they're bears and stuff like that. It is highly recommended that you use recycled paper, but you don't need to.

MATERIALS:
recycled paper

Ok lets get crackil-lackin'!

Note: i know I'm basically setting myself up for "that's what she said" jokes. (especially step 8 and 9) Even I was laughing to myself while making this. but please, this is supposed to be "kid friendly" so say it to yourself, don't comment. thank you.

Fold Corner Over

Grab the top- right corner and fold it over so that it lines up with the left side of the paper.

Fold the Corner Down

Grab the top left corner and fold it down so it touches the bottom left corner

Fold the Corner Over

fold the center right corner inwards so it touches the center of what is now a box.

Fold in Half

fold it in half diagonally so it makes what looks like one triangle

point the 90 degree angled tip on the triangle down. then take the left coner and folf it across and up so it there is a line in the middle of the triangle. this is hard to explain but look at the pictures for a better explanation.

Wrap the Paper Over

Wrap the right triangle over the obtuse triangle. Again, look at the pictures for a better explanation.

Edit: Unfortunately I don't have a video camera, but I tried to clarify a bit.

Flip and Repeat

Flip it over and repeat the last step

Put the Corner in the Hole

take the top corner that you just folded up and put it in the space right in font of it. It's less complicated in the pictures so take a look at 'em.

Make a Finger Hole.
